SynWrite (Syn2)

[Matthias030]

Cannot confirm: Windows 7 german and Windowx XP Pro SP3 german. Both TC 7.55b2

Is there any other lister plugin loaded before Syn2? Maybe another plugin makes TC crash.
Another idea: Rename Syn2.ini and SynState.ini to *.bak. Then syn2 creates new ini-files with default settings.

I removed all lister plugins but Syn2 from wincmd.ini. TC still crashed. The only difference I could see was that sometimes it took 2 or 3 Ctrl+Q key presses before TC crashed.

I also renamed the two ini files. TC still crashed. I doubt it's Syn2.ini creating problems, because TC crashed even when there was no Syn2.ini at all in the plugin folder (it got created the next time I restarted TC).

I tried again and presses Ctrl+Q several times. Syn2 is stable for me. Cannot reproduce the problem.

Does this happens on all files? Can you test Ctrl+Q with a blank (0 byte) textfile. Maybe Syn2 has problems to change document encoding (ansi, unicode,...).

I have tried .ini and .txt files. It happened with both.
I also tried a zero-byte file. It happened there too.
Could the tab pane/tab layout matter?
I keep horizontal panes, with several tabs. TC crashes with quick view housed in either the upper or the lower pane.

Tried again with horizontal panes and several tabs, but no crash for me. But if you say, b210 was ok for you, so maybe there's a bug in b220.

In History-File there are 3 relevant changes since b210:
- search, \t in regex
+ opt "RO at startup"
- issue with Wrap

So playing around with Word-Wrap mode and Read-Only mode could help you.

I played around with RO and word-wrap in b220 but TC still crashed.
Unfortunately I didn't save a copy of version b210 so I can't go back.
However, I have an older b192, and it does NOT make TC crash, just tested.

Hist.txt
=====
b220
+ exe icon
- search, \t in regex

- issue with Wrap
b210
+ exe: start w/o filename!
- "Copy"/"Cut" btns not updated, DblClick
- "Clear sel" btn not updated
+ opt "Show 'char at cursor' info"
- "Ask to overwrite RO files" didn't work
b192

Luckily I just found a copy of b210 in my download directory. I have uploaded it to rapidshare. You can get it here:

If this is really a bug so only plugin author can fix it.

[sgp]

Thanks for the download link, I got it and tested b210 again. Much to my surprise it DOES make TC crash. So the hypothetical bug was introduced before b210 and after b192.
I noticed another oddity. The history file in b210 and b220 does not list a version b192. It goes directly from b186 to b210. Perphaps the author branched b210 off of b186?
Thanks again for your help.

>The history file in b210 and b220 does not list a version..
It doesnt list all bilds

[Alextp]

The diff between versions can be seen by comparing Hist files: even wth the different bild numbers, lines can be found.

I confirm bug. b220 make tc crash on Win7.x86 TC7.50a

I try to use bad english to describe this bug

1.first time to use Syn2 b220 (synstate.ini does not exist), ctrl+q work ok. then ctrl+q agin to quit lister mode.
2.Syn2 has created synstate.ini (but synstate.ini has error，unreadable char)
3.ctrl+q again,I get a crash.

if i delete synstate.ini each time,ctrl+q always work ok.
i guess that crash happen when read wrong synstate.ini.

can anyone upload b192? let me have a try.
thanks.

b192 work fine.
SynState.ini still has unreadable char.
In my understanding, *.ini should be text file.

[TLis]

When I am searching for files containing a specific string in TC, I often go through the files found as follows:
1. F3 - opens a Lister
2. F3 - search in Lister for the string searched in TC
3. Esc, go to the next file and repeat the steps 1-3

With the standard Lister, it took over the search string from TC, so I did not have to enter it again. With Syn2 as the Lister, it remembers the string it searched for last, while in Syn2, but know nothing about the string I searched for in TC.

Is it possible to pass the string searched for in TC to Syn2?

2TLis
to search string entered in TC, you should: uncheck Syn's "Allow Lister to call custom search dlg", and call Lister's find dlg by calling Lister up menu (not by calling Syn search button)

I cannot repeat bug with Ctrl-Q..
